Evaluation Rules
For the most accurate and up-to-date rules please refer to the company's official terms and conditions along with their FAQ.| Rule | Value | Details |
|---|---|---|
| EA Usage | Allowed (with conditions) | EAs are permitted if they are legitimate, use proper risk management, reflect real market conditions, and are replicable on live accounts. Be aware of potential capital allocation issues with third-party EAs. Platform limits are 200 orders at a time and 2000 positions per day. Avoid forbidden trading practices (Terms & Conditions, clause 5.4). |
| Overnight and Weekend Holding | Allowed (with exceptions) | Allowed during the FTMO Challenge and Verification phases. On regular FTMO Accounts, positions must be closed before weekends and market rollovers longer than 2 hours. FTMO Account Swing has no restrictions. |
| Copy Trading | Restricted (Practically) | Not explicitly defined, but practically restricted. While there's no limit on accounts in the Challenge and Verification stages, the $400,000 maximum capital allocation per trader on FTMO Accounts, along with the prohibition of identical strategies across accounts exceeding this limit, effectively limits copy trading. Third-party access is also prohibited. |
| Trading Strategies | Some Allowed, Some Restricted | Martingale, scalping, and hedging are not explicitly mentioned but are likely restricted if they violate "Forbidden Trading Practices" (e.g., lack of risk management, exploiting errors, using external data feeds, or high-frequency trading). |
| Inactivity | Not Allowed (30-day rule) | The FTMO Challenge/Verification terminates if no trades are opened for 30 consecutive days. Reactivation is possible within 6 months by emailing support. |
| News Trading | Restricted (Regular FTMO Accounts) | No restrictions during the Challenge or Verification phases. On regular FTMO Accounts, opening/closing trades on specific instruments is restricted for 2 minutes before and after designated news releases. Holding trades is allowed. FTMO Account Swing has no restrictions. |
| IP Address/VPN/VPS | No Restrictions | FTMO does not have any restrictions regarding IP addresses, but do not connect from a US IP address. However, "Forbidden Trading Practices" prohibit third-party access, implying monitoring for suspicious activity. |
| Prohibited Trading Practices/Gambling Policy | Not Allowed | Prohibited: exploiting errors, using external data feeds, manipulative trading, violating platform terms, using unfair advantages, gap trading within two hours of closures/news, non-standard market practices, third-party account access, and trading without risk management. See Terms & Conditions (clause 5.4) for a complete list. |
| Trading Period | Unlimited | No time limit to pass the Profit Target. The Trading Period is indefinite. |
| Minimum Trading Days | 4 Days (Challenge and Verification) | Minimum of 4 trading days (not consecutive) for both the Challenge and Verification phases. No minimum for FTMO Account (Funded), but the Challenge and Verification must be completed first. |
| Misc. Rules | Various | Traders can trade any instruments available on the platform (Forex, Indices, Commodities, Stocks, Cryptocurrencies, etc.). Maximum volume per order on Forex is 50 lots. All trading must be legitimate and reflect real market conditions. FTMO reserves the right to determine what constitutes a Forbidden Trading Practice. |
